The utmost levels of luxury, refinement, and comfort are combined with bracing performance from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain that puts out either 671 or 771 hp. It blasts to 60 MPH in as little as 3.3 seconds but still does 30 all-electric miles. A standard 8-speed dual-clutch auto and AWD dispatch the power with steel-fisted discipline and composure.2027 Bentley Flying Spur S in Dark TealBentley configuratorWhat's New for 2027The 2027 Flying Spur gains a sportier mid-range S trim (above) with more dynamic styling cues and performance-tuned adaptive suspension. There is also a new Virtuoso Collection (below) in Tenor, Soprano, and Bass color themes, each equipped with a unique version of the 21-speaker Naim for Mulliner audio system.AdvertisementAdvertisementDesign tweaks include revised headlights, a restyled front bumper with a cleaner, more integrated grille, a reprofiled trunk lid, and updated LED taillights. A Dark Teal (above) paint color joins the palette, and new 22-inch wheel designs become available.2027 Bentley Flying Spur Virtuoso Collection with black interiorBentleyView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleExteriorThe Flying Spur's classic sedan proportions have space to breathe within its ample 209.3-inch length, and the superformed aluminum body panels juxtapose flowing lines and sharp creases. The revised LED headlights still have those distinctive DRL eyebrows, the big Bentley grille's finish still varies by trim, and the trunk lid and LED taillights have been finessed.Wheels start at 20 inches and top out at 22, and options include a retractable Bentley Flying B hood mascot and a Black Optic package that blacks out all the chrome. A power trunk lid, Dynamic Ride air suspension, 48V active anti-roll bars, and rear-wheel steering are all standard.2027 Bentley Flying SpurBentleyView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe cabin is truly sumptuous, with only metal, hand-stitched Nappa leather, and wood in evidence. The color options are almost endless, and a massive variety of veneers in glossy and open-pore finishes are offered, as well as engine-turned aluminum and carbon-fiber alternatives. The in-car tech is discreetly represented by classically Bentley graphics on the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and the center touchscreen of the same size; the latter can rotate to reveal analog gauges or a trim panel if you specify the rotating display.AdvertisementAdvertisementStandard features include leather upholstery, soft-close doors, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 10-speaker audio, heated and ventilated power front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, Wi-Fi, adaptive cruise control, 4-zone climate control, and more. Premium Naim and B&O audio systems are offered. The rear seats offer an expansive 42.9 inches of legroom and 38.7 inches of headroom, but the 12.2-cu-ft trunk is rather small for such a large car.2027 Bentley Flying Spur with black interiorBentleyView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2027 Bentley Flying Spur's price starts at over a quarter of a million dollars and is heavily dependent on customization.
